Both!

Well, not really.  But we think everybody is a winner in this situation.  We decided that we couldn't part with Della.  She's just too sweet, and really a mama's girl.  Jake, however is such a fine dog we knew we needed a special home for him too.  Enter brother Josh.

Bill's brother Josh visited us this past weekend from Nashville.  It didn't take long for him to decide that he needed a puppy.  Bill and Josh went to Fleet Farm while he was here to pick up all the puppy necessities including a MONSTROUS dog crate.  Jake even voluntarily slept in it the night before they left for Nashville.  I know they'll be happy together.  As a bonus we're looking forward to seeing Jake when they come back for hunting this fall!

Here are a couple parting shots of the pair before Jake went to his new home.

Huntin'

Mama and babies, takin' it easy

Della, after Jake left...not really, she's actually getting along just fine.  She's enjoying lots of quality time with her mom.  I think Sunny likes having a playmate too!
